Marxist Perspective On Feminism Standpoint Theory Research

With the Western feminist movement swept the world, woman’s liberation and gender equality issues growing concern. In the long struggle for women to achieve gender equality and woman’s liberation and carried, the status of women can be improved to some extent. Changes in practice to promote the exploration theory. To flourish under the feminist theory also promote the practice. Regardless of the scope of the study or research level, feminist theory has matured. However, in the course of the development of feminism in never missing questioned and criticized, and even suggested that feminist views on sex discrimination and patriarchy are suspicious, fantasy, women have gained equal status with men. However, the fact that women did not achieve true equality with men, but women are oppressed outward manifestation of more subtle and more difficult to detect. Woman’s "invisible" and "hidden" is the main indicator of social inequality.Feminism "see the unseen and power issues," the "political horizon" research to create a variety of theories, its unique insights marks the most prominent progressive social critique of contemporary history:the "invisible slavery "is widespread gender inequality product, is the source of huge differences in epistemological. Feminists believe that the "invisible woman" not because of a lack of female power, but because of an external force to their exclusion from the mainstream of life, depending on the woman as "other", "The Second Sex." This power-male-male discourse constructed system, the male ideology into every aspect of social life. Women are forced to accept this discourse system, the use of male perspective on the world, acquiesce in the status of women has been set. Thus, to achieve true liberation of women must be the basic epistemological feminist thinking, must be seen in the outside world through the eyes of women themselves, with their own life experiences of women to experience the world. As one of the schools of feminist epistemology, feminist standpoint theory of multiple subjects, strong objectivity, contextual knowledge to some extent in favor of feminist research beyond a single female perspective, beyond class and gender split, beyond the patriarchal discourse system, so that women are different from men to get a more objective perspective, more comprehensive new perspective to correct understanding of the mechanism by the male-centered theory caused by distorted.Feminist scholars Hartman said:"Marxism and feminism are actually the same type of theory is Marxism." This statement may be too sharp, but we can not deny the consistent presence of feminism and Marxism methodological similarities and theoretical. Marxism is already a huge impact mature theory, feminist thought, but only rarely interesting shape. Contrast these two great theories like the Giants and the baby. Perhaps, the birth of a baby is on the Giants’ inheritance, critique and development. From the method, the method of historical materialism Marxist feminist standpoint theory provides a correct way for. From the theoretical point of view, the Marxist concept of class feminist standpoint theory provides a scientific theory is. We can say that on a birth on Marxism and objective relationship has occurred from a feminist standpoint, even said that it is in the context of Marxism, feminism was able to stand on the formation and development. Of course, to explore the relationship between feminist standpoint theory of Marxism, the two together thinking, is not commonly understood correspondence comparison, nor is it deliberately to identify the similarities and differences between the two, more than two distinct differences comparison far-fetched theory. Just think about one of the two theories do contact in order to understand the contributions and limitations of existing feminist standpoint theory as the theoretical research and practical development made.
